Built in 1928, the historic Polk Theatre is spotted downtown Lakeland from South Florida Avenue by its iconic marquee lights. Inside, patrons are transported to an Italian-designed, Mediterranean architectural wonder featuring textured walls, faux balconies, and elaborate sconces and fixtures, all set under a deep blue starry sky ceiling. Concessions, including beer, wine, sodas, water, and popcorn are available at the theatre.

The Polk Theatre is one of three atmospheric theaters in Florida – so called because of the simulated natural setting of the twinkling stars in the ceiling. Loge, Mezzanine and Balcony are stair access only.
